Associate Programme Training Principles

Our training programmes are based on 30+ years proven ballet experience in producing exceptional dancers

Each class begins with theory and PBT, a proven method that enhances alignment, core stability, posture, turnout, control, and balance. These targeted exercises lead to rapid and noticeable improvements, helping students progress towards their personal best.

Students also benefit from a range of enrichment opportunities throughout the year, including Masterclasses with guest teachers, summer schools, workshops, and lectures. We’re proud to offer a Dance Health and Injury Prevention programme as part of our curriculum, helping dancers stay strong, informed, and resilient.

Adult Classes Training Principles

Our new adult classes are here to make high-quality ballet training accessible and meaningful for adults

Each class will offer flexibility to allow personal goals to be worked towards within an encouraging environment where dancers feel guided, appropriately challenged, and confident to grow at their own pace.

The classes will be structured around group and individual goals to offer tailored training which can include;

  • Building strength, coordination and mobility

  • Developing ballet technique and technical knowledge

  • Musicality, artistry and movement quality

  • Dancing to beautiful music in a calm, supportive environment

  • Enjoying the process and sharing the space with like-minded people
